Ruby Velasquez vs. Island Boy Apollo
Rudy's been booked stronger thus far, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the sort of match to transfer some of Island Boy's false overness to a more worthy performer. Latino Kings (Hector Galindo & Jesus Chavez) vs. The Rock City Stars (Rockinī Ryan Turner & Stan The Man Manna) This could go either way, as both of these teams are without their strongest members in their stable but the Kings are more established and I see the Rock City Stars being weaker without Gumble, than the other Kings are without Velasquez. Knuckles vs. Arthur Dexter Bradley You've stated that Knuckles is slotting in at Darkness Warrior's uppercard slot, and ADB is 'young lion' job fodder at this point. The 937lb Express (King Kong Kennedy & Ox Mastadon) vs. Fly High (Dragon Del Argo Iris Jr. & Amo Del Gato) Fly High have been established enough not to be total job fodder, so this will follow the typical 937 Pizza's Express match...in that they'll dominate for two minutes then start reaching for the oxygen for overexcerting themselves. 2 vs. 2 for the Tag Team titles Clowns From Hell (Leper Messiah & El Hijo Del Zonk) vs. Lightīs Out (Bradford Peverell & Kirk Jameson) If the clown's didn't have chemistry issues, then I could have seen the possibility of a shock title change here, as Light's Out don't really need the tag belts in my opinion, especially with Jameson also holding the People's belt. Hellīs Bouncer vs. Fox Mask Another frustrating loss for Bouncer against Fox Mask, but this time I think it will be by DQ and he will destroy Fox Mask post match. Bouncer doesn't need wins to look menacing and dangerous. 1 vs. 1 for the Puerto Rican title Handsome Stranger vs. Shawn Gonzalez I agree with Boltinho, surely it is time for the title to change hands here, if Stranger fails again in my opinion he has blown his chance. Plus the fact that at this moment in time you have a stronger set of faces (Fox Mask, Gonzalez, Peverall, Gumble, perhaps Jameson even) to chase a heel champ than a set of heels to chase a face champ (Stranger if he fails again, Bouncer, Knuckles, Messiah if you're really pushing it).

August 2011
Friday week 2 Dark Matches: 2 vs. 2 Tigers & Demons (DeCipher & Tigre Salvaje Jr.) vs. Natural Storm (D.C. Rayne & Eddie Howard) WINNERS: Natural Storm by pinfall in 8:10 D- 1 vs. 1 Ford Gumble /w. Randall Hopkirk vs. Matt Hocking WINNER: Ford Gumble by pinfall in 5:31 D-  FCW Freedomīs Movement Place: Gymnasium Aguada Attendance: 648 1 vs. 1  /w.  vs.  Ruby Velasquez /w. Streetz vs. Island Boy Apollo Island Boy Apollo was clearly a crowd favorite on this one but unfortunately for him heīs still little bit wet behind the ears and that showed as heīs over enthusiast cost him the match when Velasquez capitalized on his mistakes with Street Cutter. WINNER: Ruby Velasquez by pinfall in 6:51 D- ANGLE:   After the match rest of the Kings come to the ring and they declare that the war between them and Rock City Guns is far from over, in fact it has just started as their loss last month meant nothing and that they will prove it tonight by beating their opponents to the ground. E 2 vs. 2 & /w. vs.  &  /w.  Latino Kings (Hector Galindo & Jesus Chavez)/w. Streetz vs. The Rock City Stars (Rockinī Ryan Turner & Stan ‘The Man’ Manna) /w. Randall Hopkirk Kings manage to keep their promise here and pick up a win after hard fight when Chavez hits Manna with The 187 Neckbreaker after Manna was distracted by Streetz. WINNERS: Latino Kings by pinfall in 5:16 E+ 1 vs. 1  vs.  Knuckles vs. Arthur Dexter Bradley This was just a showcase on Knuckles offence since ADB didnīt really get anytime on his own before Knuckles ends this with Stay of Execution after just 4 minutes. WINNER: Knuckles by pinfall in 3:59 D- ANGLE: Knuckles hypes himself up after the match telling everyone that he has come here in order to be on top so that he can show that he belong to big leagues instead of small companies like FCW. D- 2 vs. 2  &  vs.  &  The 937lb Express (King Kong Kennedy & Ox Mastadon) vs. Fly High (Dragon Del Argo Iris Jr. & Amo Del Gato) Fly High manage to use their speed advantage to stay away from Express for most of the match and even take a surprise victory though admittedly itīs because of a count out after Ox fails to get into ring during a ten count. WINNERS: Fly High by count out in 6:15 D- 2 vs. 2 for the Tag Team titles   &  vs.  &  /w.  Clowns From Hell (Leper Messiah & El Hijo Del Zonk) vs. Lightīs Out (Bradford Peverell & Kirk Jameson) /w. Maryam Vega This one was a close match-up but unfortunately for Zonk and Messiah their team work werenīt on the same level than their opponents and that ended up costing them the match as Peverell managed to knock Zonk out with Dream Left Hook WINNERS: Lightīs Out by pinfall in 11:52 D+ ANGLE: Messiah is clearly frustrated after the loss and he seems to blame Zonk who answers right back. Messiah just snaps and hits Zonk with The Prophecy before leaving the ring cementing the fact that Bringers of Darkness has fully broken up. D 1 vs. 1  vs.  Hellīs Bouncer vs. Fox Mask This one was rather similar to the earlier matches these two have had with Fox Mask matching Bouncerīs power game with his own faster attack style. The difference was that this time Bouncer took the victory when he managed to perform the Damnation Drop on Fox Mask. WINNER: Hellīs Bouncer by pinfall in 7:12 D+ 1 vs. 1 for the Puerto Rican title   vs.  Handsome Stranger vs. Shawn Gonzalez Stranger used every dirty trick that he knew on this one and he managed to make Gonzalez lose his calm and that proved to be the deciding point as Gonzalez made a rare mistake that Stranger managed to capitalize with La Gota and one three count later we have a new champion. WINNER: Handsome Stranger by pinfall in 16:30 C- ANGLE: Stranger isnīt content on just winning the belt as he attacked Gonzalez after the match vith steel chair and proceeds to beat Gonzalez down until Fox Mask runs from backstage and drives Stranger off from the ring. Still the show end with medics checking on Gonzalez who looks to be in big pain. D (Gumble was actually on this angle instead of Fox Mask since I screwed up, but since that doesnīt fit to my plans I just pretend that it was Fox Mask instead  )Show rating: D+ Comments: Shawn Gonzalez was unhappy about the loss and it had bad timing too as heīs contract is up and Iīm waiting him to response for my offer, but I wasnīt going to take the risk of him leaving with the title so change had to happen here. And sure enough Gonzalez rejected the negations since Iīm not big enough for him so heīs gone. Clowns From Hell are contesting for shortest time as tag team award as they already broke up. I just didnīt see any point on keeping them together after that bad chemistry note were discovered and this way Jameson and Peverell will hopefully get a little boost as they actually managed to destroy Bringers of Darkness. Hell's Bouncer has a dreadfully stale character and Knuckles signed a deal with RIPW so I now share him with them. Also for other signing news Fox Mask is now also working for NYCW.

Roster Moves:
Guys Leaving: Shawn Gonzales Age: 40 Face, Adventurer Record: 6 0 1 (18 0 2) Iīm sad to see Gonzalez leaving as he has carried the company ever since PRP left the promotion but its time for a change so change there will be. I fully expect to get worse grades now that Shawn is gone but lets see if I can get back to same or even better grades in the future. I wonder if I could have kept him if I managed to get to regional before heīs contract got up but guess that it doesnīt matter now. Still itīs interesting to see if Gonzalez gets picked up by someone or will he remain unemployed.

Predictions: Tigerkinney got the best score this time 6/7 and with that he gets closer to the top and there is still plenty of time before the year ends (well five shows anyway since seems that I messed the months at some point Freedomīs Movent happened in July not August like my earlier post claims
 ). As for the matches everyone saw Stranger getting the title and Knuckles getting the win but other matches proved to be slighly harder to predict. The match that seemed to be hardest was Fox Mask vs. Bouncer and admittably considering what will follow Mask winning would had made more sense but I already had Fox Mask going over Bouncer twice so Bouncer needed to get the win in order to prove himself and end that feud. Clowns From Hell didnīt win because I donīt like to hotshot titles (I wouldnīt had made the change even without that bad chemistry note) and Fly High needed to get a win over more established team in order to reinforce the fact that they are step above jobbers right now. Velasquez beated Apollo because he is more important right now and Latino Kings are simply better (and more over) than Rock City Star and thus they got the win there.Jingo 27/44 Tigerkinney 24/31 Boltinho 21/31 TakerNGN74 19/30 Rathen 4/6 The landscape of FCW did change once again when Handsome Stranger not only won the title from Shawn Gonzalez but also beat him down after the match. The reports confirm that Gonzalez will be away for long time and it will be questionable if he can ever come back to FCW. Still the live continues and our newly crowned champion will defend his title against Eddie Howard. Can Howard end Strangerīs title reign before it even starts or will Stranger prove too strong for him? However our main event isnīt the title match but a match between the newer members of FCW when Fox Mask who tried to save Gonzalez last month will face newly arrived Knuckles in singles competition. The winner of this match will make a strong case towards future title shot so which man is able to take the opportunity? Speaking of title shots six-man are going to have opportunity to become number one contender for Peoples championship while Tigers & Demons get a rare title shot against Lightīs Out. In our other matches Ruby Velasquez and Ford Gumble continue the rivalry between their respective groups while Hellīs Bouncer will be facing Dragon Del Argo Iris Jr. in singles match. Predictions: Ruby Velasquez vs. Ford Gumble 2 vs. 2 for the Tag Team titles Lightīs Out (Bradford Peverell & Kirk Jameson) vs. Tigers & Demons (DeCipher & Tigre Salvaje Jr.) 6-man Elimination match winner becomes 1st contender on Peoples championship El Hijo Del Zonk vs. Amo Del Gato vs. Leper Messiah vs. D.C Rayne vs. Ox Mastadon vs. Hector Galindo Dragon Del Argo Iris Jr. vs. Hellīs Bouncer 1 vs. 1 for the Puerto Rican title Handsome Stranger vs. Eddie Howard Fox Mask vs. Knuckles

Ruby Velasquez vs. Ford Gumble
RV is doing well these days 2 vs. 2 for the Tag Team titles Lightīs Out (Bradford Peverell & Kirk Jameson) vs. Tigers & Demons (DeCipher & Tigre Salvaje Jr.) I would go and see a film called Tigers and Demons. 6-man Elimination match winner becomes 1st contender on Peoples championship El Hijo Del Zonk vs. Amo Del Gato vs. Leper Messiah vs. D.C Rayne vs. Ox Mastadon vs. Hector Galindo LM seems closest to the top to me. Dragon Del Argo Iris Jr. vs. Hellīs Bouncer The Dragon is clearly the talent but Bouncer has the overness. You cant beat Fox Mask and then lose this 1 vs. 1 for the Puerto Rican title Handsome Stranger vs. Eddie Howard Should be a good match Fox Mask vs. Knuckles Poor Sweaty Fox. Have you got the newer alt of Knuckles? Its really good

Ruby Velasquez vs. Ford Gumble
This one's difficult to call, as for me Velasquez has more potential but Gumble is more over. For Me Gumble's never going to be a 'top' guy, so I would have Velasquez win through here. 2 vs. 2 for the Tag Team titles Lightīs Out (Bradford Peverell & Kirk Jameson) vs. Tigers & Demons (DeCipher & Tigre Salvaje Jr.) Jobber team getting their chance, because it just happens to be their turn.... the belts aren't changing hands here. 6-man Elimination match winner becomes 1st contender on Peoples championship El Hijo Del Zonk vs. Amo Del Gato vs. Leper Messiah vs. D.C Rayne vs. Ox Mastadon vs. Hector Galindo I personally would have had both Velasquez and Gumble involved in this match, as they seem like ideal People's Championship candidates to me...amongst this sea of glorified jobbers and tag teamers, Leper Messiah stands out as the most likely to hold a singles belt at this stage. Dragon Del Argo Iris Jr. vs. Hellīs Bouncer Exactly what Boltinho said. 1 vs. 1 for the Puerto Rican title Handsome Stranger vs. Eddie Howard Things must be bad, if Eddie Howard is getting a PR Title shot with no build what so ever Fox Mask vs. Knuckles I suppose Fox Mask must prove his title match credentials again after losing to Bouncer (but should that really matter, when Eddie Howard's getting a shot at the belt anyway) and Knuckles is perhaps too new to already being getting a shot at the belt. Fox Mask to edge this, simply because Stranger's holding the belt right now and your other potential babyface main event candidates are holding the tag belts.

As for Howard getting a title shot... yeah itīs quite behind the corner and makes no real sense. To be honest thatīs one of my biggest problems when booking just one show a month, how to make every title shot seem like they are earned and not just some random decision. Obviously I havenīt found the answer on that one yet.

Friday week 2 Dark Matches: 1 vs. 1 Island Boy Apollo vs. Kentucky Bill WINNER: Island Boy Apollo by pinfall in 5:27 E 1 vs. 1 Arthur Dexter Bradley vs. King Kong Kennedy WINNER: King Kong Kennedy by pinfall in 3:44 E+ 1 vs. 1 Mystery man vs. Matt Hocking WINNER: Mystery man by pinfall in 5:11 D FCW Freedomīs Children Place: Gymnasium Aguada Attendance: 640 1 vs. 1 /w. vs.  /w. Ruby Velasquez /w. Streetz vs. Ford Gumble /w. Randall Hopkirk Close match between two guys who both can use multiple styles in the ring and they did showcase their talent here. Still only one man could win and this time the winner was Ford Gumble as he managed to hit Velasquez with Savage Kick. WINNER: Ford Gumble by pinfall in 8:37 D+ ANGLE: Handsome Stranger comes into ring with his newly acquired Puerto Rican title and starts telling fans how impressive he is. Stranger congratulates himself on sending Shawn Gonzalez out from FCW and reminds everyone that he did the same to Mainstream Hernandez and Puerto Rican Power before and will do same to anyone who thinks that they could challenge him. Luckily for the fans Fox Mask has heard enough and interferences stranger self-hyping. Mask declares that he did came in FCW to fight against evil and injustice and that Stranger isnīt the type of champion that FCW deserves but that he will fix the situation by taking the title away from Stranger. Stranger laughs on Maskīs declaration saying that he could beat Mask blindfolded and that Mask has some brave words for a guy who didnīt even win in the last show. Stranger then tell Fox Mask that he isnīt worthy for a title shot and that he will consider one IF Mask manages to beat his opponent in tonightīs main event. C- ANGLE: Lightīs Out are hyping themselves backstage, telling that they are now done with Bringers of Darkness since the group is broken even if most of its members still lurk in FCW. They also state that they will now concentrate on defending their tag titles and Jamesonīs Peoples championship. D+ 2 vs. 2 for the Tag Team titles & /w. vs.  &  Lightīs Out (Bradford Peverell & Kirk Jameson) /w. Maryam Vega vs. Tigers & Demons (DeCipher & Tigre Salvaje Jr.) Tigers & Demons arenīt a bad team by any means but they are still pretty much outclassed in this one and Jameson hits DeCipher with The Bullseye on five minutes mark in order to get a rather easy victory for the champs. WINNERS: Lightīs Out by pinfall in 4:39 D- 6-man Elimination match winner becomes 1st contender on Peoples championship vs. vs. vs.  vs. vs. /w. El Hijo Del Zonk vs. Amo Del Gato vs. Leper Messiah vs. D.C Rayne vs. Ox Mastadon vs. Hector Galindo /w. Streetz This match was pretty chaotic from the start with six guys in the ring at the same time. Ox was the first guy to be eliminated as Messiah hit him with The Prophecy after just three minutes. Amo Del Gato was next to go as Zonk managed to hit Zonk Bomb on him but he then instantly fell to Storm Damage from D.C Rayne. Rayne also managed to eliminate Galindo, leaving just him and Messiah in the ring. Unfortunately for Rayne Messiah was the one who picked up the victory after catching Rayne with The Prophecy. WINNER: Leper Messiah by pinfall in 9:39 D- ANGLE:  Next itīs time to introduce new guy as Donnie J makes his first appearance in FCW. He starts talking about how he came to Puerto Rico because he likes to surf and there should be good beach parties here (Is there? I have no idea but neither have Donnie I think). So generally Donnie seems to be your usual laid back surfer dude, however before he can get much further he is rudely disturbed by Hellīs Bouncer who makes his way to the ring. Donnie tries to ask Bouncer some directions for a good party place but Bouncer has none of it and hits Donnie with Damnation Drop, after declaring that Donnie has wasted enough time. D+ 1 vs. 1 vs. Dragon Del Argo Iris Jr. vs. Hellīs Bouncer Bouncer seems to be on his usual nasty mood and Dragon is thrown around the ring like a rag doll for most of this match. Dragon does manage to make a small comeback but Damnation Drop stops that attempt and gives Bouncer the victory. WINNER: Hellīs Bouncer by pinfall in 4:39 D- 1 vs. 1 for the Puerto Rican title vs.  Handsome Stranger vs. Eddie Howard Howard really shows what he is capable of here as he keeps Stranger on his back foot for most of this match but eventually Stranger manages to twist the upper hand for himself and end this with a win after hitting Howard with La Gota. WINNER: Handsome Stranger by pinfall in 7:55 C 1 vs. 1 vs.  Fox Mask vs. Knuckles Both men felt like they had something to prove here and it resulted to an even match-up were control changed hands several times during the match. In the end Fox Mask is the one who came out on top after hitting Fox Hunter on Knuckles. WINNER: Fox Mask by pinfall in 11:48 D ANGLE: Itīs almost a tradition in FCW that there will be run-in after main event and that what happens here as Stranger blindsides Fox Mask and proceeds to beat him down while yelling that Mask has no change against him. D+ (And once again I somehow had Gumble instead of Fox Mask on this angle; really have no idea how I keep messing up with this.) Show Rating: D+ Comments: Disappointing main event I was expecting it to score better than the title match but instead it got whole grate lower score. I guess the difference between C overness (Stranger) and D+ overness (Mask, Knuckles has D) just is that big. Island Boy Apollo kept the backstage happy by telling hilarious road stories, also my backstage rating is still 94.9 even after Gonzalez left so everything is still fine there, to be honest I was little bit scared since Gonzalez brought about 5 different plusses to backstage atmosphere. Donnie was the mystery guy in pre-show as I needed to give him a match before putting him on angle. Also thanks for Boltinho for digging that Kunckles alt for me, as you can see I did decide to use it as itīs indeed pretty good one.

To be honest I think you really hurt your chances of progress with FCW, when you edited the contract of Puerto Rican Power and thus made him vunerable to being poached. Yes, it would have been a bit boring him being on top forever, but he would at least have given you a consistently decent grade in the main event due to his overness, because as you've found out other main event talent such as Gonzalez can easily be poached away. To be honest I think you would have reached Regional, had Power still been around, and perhaps you may have had a chance of keeping Gonzalez around (probably not- but you would have had a better chance).
Looking back at when I played as FCW for TEW 2008, I pulled the trigger too early myself on taking the PR belt off Power (as I was getting bored of him as champ and saw that he would actually job to Bouncer), but wish I had a bit more patience and kept the belt on him for another year. Don't take this as advice from me to jack this in and move on* but I'm just pointing out that fiddling with Power's contract is coming back to bite you pretty bad and that the FCW you are in control of seems to be a bit stuck right now and struggling to find the traction to move forward. * As I am enjoying this diary; biggest strength is that it's an easy read, and though I like in depth masterpieces such as Eisenverse's, you don't want to read in depth 'masterpieces' all the time

On the plus side I think it makes things slighly more interesting when I donīt have those two as it gives more room to other guys like Stranger and Peverell and Iīm not overly conserned about grades as long as I move forward even if the phase is slower than it could. Oh and I wonīt be ending this anytime soon (or at least I hope so) as I enjoy this quite much and I just canīt keep a game going without writing a diary.
